How to enable comments on blog entries
This How-to applies to: 1.0
Scrawl, as of 1.0-beta2, respects Plone's default settings to not enable comments for any content item. However, may blog writers will want to enable comments for their blog entries. Here's how, for Plone 3 and Plone 2.x.
Update February 28, 2008: we've just checked in a change to SVN, which will be part of our upcoming Beta 3 release, to enable comments by default on Scrawl blog entries. If you are using Scrawl 1.0-beta 3 or later, you may follow these steps to disable comments, simply by unchecking boxes instead of checking them.
Enabling comments in Plone 3
- Go to Site Setup>Types.
- Choose "Blog Entry" from the dropdown menu.
- Enable the "Allow Comments" checkbox, then hit Save.
Comments are now enabled for all blog entries in your site. You can override the default for any individual blog entry on its Settings tab. You cannot override this setting on a per-blog basis at this time.
Enabling comments in Plone 2
- Go to the ZMI. Site Setup>Zope Management Interface is one easy way to get there.
- Click on portal_types
- Click on "Blog Entry"
- Enable the "Allow Discussion?" checkbox, then hit Save.
Comments are now enabled for all blog entries in your site. You can override the default for any individual blog entry on its Settings tab. You cannot override this setting on a per-blog basis at this time.
